1. As long as voters show up

He is incumbent which is always hard to get rid of. I hope we win this one. I wanted more Tea Party wins which makes it easier for us to win.

2. i disagree

we have all the enthusiasm on our side. i think the Paul supporters will sit out and not vote for mitch.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

3. The GOP IS the Tea Party now

John Boehner recently said so.

4. you may make bonehead cry,

[get the red out]

5. I worry about the news organizations pushing Mitch

Last night on one of the Lexington stations the news anchors kept saying "would Kentuckians really be willing to give up the power that Mitch McConnell holds in Washington". They were pushing him as hard as any campaign commercial. I couldn't watch it.

6. no need to worry

Grimes is young and attractive, mitch is old and stale without any enthusiastic supporters.

7. it will be next to impossible to win

I live in ky, you are seriously underestimating how ignorant most of the populace here REALLY are. mitch will paint alison as a obama cronie against coal, the bible and " TRYING TO CHANGE OUR WAY OF LIFE" and believe me, it works EVERY TIME

[mgcgulfcoast]

9. time for optimism

we win this one and georgia

17. It will basically take a major scandal or gaffe for her to win

8. A side-by-side graphical comparison is in order, here.

Personally, I am of the opinion that Alison Lundergan-Grimes can beat any turtle that the Republicans offer up, and if Mitch is the best turtle they have, they deserve to lose.

Of course, that's just my opinion.

10. if she were a rep and him a Democrat

i might vote for her, he is a little worn out looking.

[Laelth]

14. And that's a "good" picture of Mitch.

Go figure.

11. I hope you're right

I live in Kentucky and I think it is going to be really tough to beat him.

[blackspade]

12. I dream of turtle man going down in flames.

This is one KY voter that will not miss this fall.
I really think that We will gotv since this is the best chance in a generation to get rid of Mitchy.

[riqster]

13. GOTV is key.

We need to get our friends, family, coworkers, etc. to the polls with us.

[WI_DEM]

15. I hope you are right, but

I've seen over the years many such predictions on DU and a lot of times it goes the opposite way. I think KY is definitely one we can win, but as others have pointed out it will come down to GOTV. We need an excited base and so far 2014 is looking a lot like 2010. It seems like when Obama isn't on the ballot a lot of his base just sit it out. That said, KY gives us one of our best chances for a pick up.

16. Whoever wins will win by 1-4 points.

18. She needs to win Louisville by 50,000 to 70,000 votes and Lexington by 25,000 to 40,000 votes.
